Oh I can't take another heartache
Though you say your my friend, I'm at my
wit's end
You say your love is bonafide, but that don't coincide
With the things that you do and when I ask you to be nice
You say
You gotta be
*Chorus*
Cruel to be kind
In the right measure
Cruel to be kind
It's a very good
sign
Cruel to be kind
Means that I love you
baby
(You gotta be cruel)
You gotta be cruel to be kind
* Well I do my best to understand dear
But your still mystified
And I wanna
know why
I pick myself up off the ground
To have you knock me back down
Again
and again and when I ask you
To explain
You say
You gotta be
[Chorus]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...
[Repeat *]
[Chorus]
